No problem, As far as emailing is concerned, as you have the address of the infoWindow, you can easily pass this to a "mailto:"; URL, with the address in the subject or body of the email (Although it's not as elegant as Google's own implementation)
Alternitavely, I would use a server-side language to post the address as a variable to a form, at which point a user can fill out the form and do what they need to do (Email or SMS), keep in mind SMS usually needs an SMS gateway, so you would need to get this organised with another 3rd party company Good luck with it all Pete On Jun 24, 2:58 am, Ariana <[email protected]> wrote: > > 1.
